We will also get to know each other through some fun activities, fishing, and dinner around the campfire. There will many fun filled activities to explore the diverse aquatic environment at Lake Dardanelle and ways to conserve this precious resource. After dinner and activities we will retire into the visitor center to “sleep with the fish”.

Saturday we will begin bright and early and take to the water in the kayaks. There will be fun, games, a unique aquatic obstacle course, and will wrap up with a slide show and awards ceremony at 12p.m.
